DRUGS: POT LIES RECIPE FOR DISASTER

Dear Editor,

Our youth don't need a Google search to determine that marijuana is
not dangerous [Marijuana not going on, Aug. 1 Letters, Langley
Advance]. They determine that marijuana is benign by their own
personal observations or their own personal experience.

When our youth find out that they have been lied to about marijuana,
they reach the logical conclusion that the people who lied to them
about marijuana, must also be lying to them about the dangers of
other drugs, like meth, cocaine, heroin, and household inhalants.

This is a recipe for disaster.

And it is the main reason for our current meth epidemic.

The war on drugs is a disaster. It's time to chart a new course and
do something different - substantially different.
